WORLDS FAIR ALLOTMENT
Gov. Ferguson Secured a Prominent Place
for Oklahoma's Building'.
States the most remote in the union
the oldest and youngest of the great
sisterhood, wer^ represented in the
allotment ceremonies at the World's
Fair grounds at St. Louis the last
week. Texas, big enough and rich
enough for five great states as large
as New York,was there with a large
delegation headed by Governor Say-
res. Wisconsin was there with Gov-
ernor Hoard as the leader. Ne-
braska was there with Governor Sav-
age at the head of a stalwart band of
commissioners. Oklahoma sent Gov-
ernor Ferguson to accept the beauti-
ful site alloted to that territory and
the governor said they would have
had this pick of the sites if they had
run for them as they ran for town
sites when Oklahoma was thrown
open to settlement.
The part of the site set apart for
the state buildings comprises about
100 acres at the southeast corner of
the 1190-acre parallelogram which
constitutes the World's Fair grounds.
It is on a plateau south of the gov-
ernment building and all will be con-
venient to the great railway termi-
nals at the south side of the grounds.
The sites are all conspicuous and
accessible.
M. W. Hutchinson of Greenbrier,
Ind., is looking over Lincoln county
with a view to locating. He is heav-
ily impressed with the business and
agricultural possibilities of the
county.

Canning Factory
Meeting Approval
Its Establishment Means the Employment of Much Labor
The canning factory enterprise,
exclusive mention of -which was made
in last week's News, is meeting with
more than favorable comment. As
a purely speculative enterprise it
holds out inducements to the capital-
ist not often met with. The history
of the canning business in southwest
Missouri, which, by the way, is the
center of the canning industry of the
west, is one continuous repetition of
large profits. In many instances the
year's work has shown a profit of
more than 150 per cent.
Chandler is happily situated for
an institution of this kind, and the
soil is well adapted for the produc-
tion of all those products that are
consumed in a cannery. Being lo-
cated in close juxtaposition to the
wholesale and jobbing center of Ok-
lahoma and the great southwest, a
cannery at this point would be com-
paratively free from all competition
and the profits would be enhanced.
The advantages to be derived from
any institution that employs a large
number of hands is great, and it is
not belittling the oil mills to say that
a cannery would be worth thousands
of dollars more to the merchants
yearly. The reason is plain. The
farmer will receive more per acre
from tomatoes than he will from cot-
ton ; the cannery will employ three
times as many hands as the gin and
oil mill; the hands are usually paid
by the piece, which insures them a
larger remuneration.
This opportunity of securing an
enterprise that will be of such a
financial benefit, not only to the
stockholders but to the people, should
not be allowed to slip from us. It is
an enterprise that the wage earner
can take stock in, and if a kind of
"community of interest" plan was
formulated and stock of small de-
nomination sold to every one desir-
ing it, the profits would be more
widely diffused and would assist ma-
terially in bringing other enterprises
to us. The large employment of
labor is the bone and sinew of any
prosperous town, and for that reason
the cannery should be located here.
Do not give some of our near-by
neighbors the opportunity of secur-
ing it.
Hunters Receive Warning.
The opening of the quail season is
on the morning of the 16th, and hunt-
ers are at liberty to hunt them.
However, it is a strict violation of
the law to ship game out of the ter-
ritory and a reward of $10 is paid
for each conviction.

Fun a' Police Court.
Saturday morning those who lounge
around the police court witnessed a
drama from real life. The police
raided a questionable resort Friday
night and the drag net of justice
brought to the surface a prominent
young man of the town. Unfortu-
nately for the young fellow his father
was in the police room and heard one
of the witnesses give a graphic de-
scription of the bacchanalian feast
that was on when the police inter-
vened and in the good name of Chan-
dler marched the offenders to the
don john keep.
For Rent.
Mrs. Frazier's cottage on 11th
street and Iowa avenue, is for rent
and will be ready for occupancy Oc-
tober 1. Inquire at P. O. bookstore.
Hon. H. R. Thurston was over
from Guthrie the first of the week
attending court. He was, of course,
accompanied by his life size smile.
Luther Waldo, editor of the Wal-
nut Grove (Mo.) Eagle, made The
News a pleasant call Saturday. Mr.
Waldo is looking over Oklahoma, and
the Indian territory for a location.
He is delighted with this county and
no doubt will locate.
District court was convened in
Chandler Monday with Judge Bur-
ford presiding. The docket is very
large, owing to the many cases of
condemnation proceedings brought by
the Ft. Smith & Western road in se-
curing right-of-way. The criminal
docket is not very large, but it will
take some time to clear it up.
